Theo Sweeny Web Support Contractor T: 01293 722211 W: www.avios.com From: "Yudin, Ilya" <yudi...@nytimes.com> To: users@tomcat.apache.org, Date: 14/07/2015 15:58 Subject: Command line requests for starting/reloading/stoping applications are not working in Tomcat 7.0.57 Manager Hello, I'm running Apache Tomcat 7.0.57 on RHEL 6.6 servers for CCI NewsGate editorial system which uses around 20 applications per Tomcat server. There is a requirement here (for the reasons of automating administrative tasks) to enable starting, stoping and reloading individual applications from Linux command line I am using your documentation on Apache Tomcat Manager at the following URL: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/manager-howto.html#Reload_An_Existing_Application to achieve that, but the commands do not work as described, even though Web GUI Manager works just fine. I do have appropriate roles for the user added to my <tomcat>/conf/tomcat-users.xml file: <tomcat-users> <role rolename="manager-gui"/> <role rolename="manager-script"/> <user username="OurName" password="OurSecurePasswd" roles="manager-gui,manager-script"/> </tomcat-users> ... and I have re-started Tomcat after adding the manager-script role. The list command works exactly as described in documentation: [ngtom@ng-web01 ~]$ curl --user OurName:OurSecurePasswd http://our.server.fqdn:8080/manager/text/list OK - Listed applications for virtual host localhost ... /manager:running:0:manager /workschedule:running:0:workschedule /docs:running:0:docs /sample:running:348:sample ... However when I try to start/stop/reload any of the listed applications I am getting the following result: [ngtom@ng-web01 ~]$ curl --user OurName:OurSecurePasswd http://our.server.fqdn:8080/manager/text/stop?path=/docs curl: No match. I think that I've done everything exactly as shown in the examples given in your documentation, but apparently something there or in what I'm doing is wrong. Could you please help?
